Have to say that it looks just the way I'd thoubght it'll br like minus the fact where the logo and Volume number being moved up to not block the artwork. This definitely was a good move there on Viz's part. That's because it's a known rule to not block any artwork on a cover.

Besides, I'm wondering if they'll do the same for 10 (Volume 39) and 11 (Volume 40) since that artwork with Giratina on both is big too. Guess that they'll do since they'd have to anyways.

With your point, I find it ironic that Volume 18.(cover) in R+S, Ruby's hand is blocking the word "sapphire" but they don't just move down the image, but they move the volume number/logo on Volume 9.

Interestingly enough, Volume 1 of VIZ's release of the serialized BW arc appears to have 192 pages on the description of the volume on Amazon, but the info on Viz Kid's page says 104 pages.

I'm kinda wondering which one it'll be. I'm hoping that it's the 104 since I don't want to see that excessive pulling rounds out of other volumes to happen frequently. What I mean by this is that cases like HGSS and GSC were ok since they'd be not that much drag and pull but the 196 pages would mean that the content of Volume 44 has to be added when it shouldn't be. So this is more of a necessity matter than it is to beef up because of what's been cut out already.

On the topic of Volume covers, I hope that VIZ would leave Archie and Maxie on the cover of Volume 19 but I highly doubt that they would since the volume cover would be blue if they continue on with the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald solid cover scheme that they've done so far with the volumes in the RS arc. Though time will tell and we'll know for sure once the cover is revealed here in the nearby future.

Does Sird actually talk about previous encounters with Dex holders or does it just show her return(but nothing more) in volume 8?

No, she does not talk about her previous encounters with the 'dex holders. She basically just shows up in Galactic uniform for the last two pages of the volume, and that's it. The advanced grunt or whatever his name is briefly mentions the 'dex holders as a group, but again he doesn't say anything about Sird's experiences.

If he does not say, it would be difficult to explain the plot of Volume 40.
